Airborne Ultrasound Level 1 | 2

Airborne ultrasound is a non-destructive testing method used for locating process leaks, as well as testing rotating mechanical machinery and electrical equipment online.

This Airborne or Structural Borne Ultrasound 5-day Course (also referred to as Ultrasonics or Acoustic Emission) is designed to improve the inspector’s skills in locating leaks and defects. It teaches the basic analysis of sound spectrums enabling the inspector to diagnose correctly while performing ultrasound inspections.

Theoretical learning and practical applications are provided to teach the student proper equipment handling whilst performing airborne ultrasonic inspections. Specifically designed class excercises enhance the student’s ability to relate, record and report test results. By applying this knowledge in the work environment, the student will be able to perform inspections with competence.

Airborne Ultrasound

For 40 years, UE Systems has produced thousands of ergonomically designed portable, and incredibly accurate airborne/structure borne ultrasonic instruments. Used primarily for leak detection, mechanical analysis and electrical inspection, these instruments have saved tens of thousands of dollars in premature failure detection, elimination of downtime, increased productivity, and overall replacement costs.

UE System’s digital Ultraprobe® instruments have also been used as an energy conservation tool, cutting energy waste and improving a company’s carbon footprint through the integration of UE Systems data management software. This patented software is the first of its kind to report both cost and carbon footprint reduction while enabling users to analyze, repair and report their savings.
